I have never actually seen The Sound of Music. I know . . . shocking! But somehow the songs from The Sound of Music have wiggled their lyrics and tunes inside my brain.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittensBright copper kettles and warm woolen mittensBrown paper packages tied up with stringsThese are a few of my favorite things

This song is catchy and even though I've never seen a cooper kettle, worn wool mittens or received a package wrapped in brown paper and string, I find myself signing these words as if these items were actually my favorite things.

Well, tonight if I could add my own list of favorite things to this song, at the very top of my list would be this . . .

As I began dreaming about the pretend and play mail carrier kit for my eighth craft till Christmas, I stumbled upon this at the store. I wasn't sure what I would use it for, and now after using it over and over again in the past week, I wonder . . . "What wouldn't I use this for?" This stuff rocks.

So here's my own verse to add to this familiar song:

Sweet baby kisses and little square Cheez-itsPeel n Stick Fabric Fuse Permanent AdhesiveCrafting and sewing and a cell phone that rings*These are a few of my favorite things

Don't expect to see this version of My Favorite Things topping the charts anytime soon, but do check out Peel n Stick Fabric Fuse Permanent Adhesive if you haven't already.

You won't be disappointed.

Craft on!

*I currently have a cell phone that doesn't ring, so I have grown to appreciate that simple pleasure.

I don't think that I will find it here in Portugal... :(Somethings that american blogs talk about I cannot find in Portugal.'sound of music' is one my favorites!It was the first real people movie that I saw (I only have seen cartoons until then)! I was 7 or 8 years, and I went with my father and brother, in a movie theater that was having a reposition of old movies. Since then I probabilly saw it more than 50 times! And my daughter already saw it too!! :)

You are right.....Peel n Stick is great for so many things! It makes some projects so much easier. I've seen "The Sound of Music" and it's a good movie but what I really like is the song "My favorite things". I used to sing it a lot when my daughter was little and she can still remember that. :-)

Hmmm . . . I think it would work really well on the bigger items - like a fireplace, rug, windows, etc, but not smaller or finer things like a flower stem the panes on the window. It's definitely more expensive than fabric glue though.

blogging manners

I try to teach my kids good manners. I'm not sure how successful I've been though. But when I hear them say "please" or "thank you", I know my persistence is paying off. I try to use good manners on my blog too . . . giving credit where credit is due by linking back to projects or ideas from other crafty bloggers. I ask you to do the same. If, in some rare instance, you are inspired enough to blog about something I tried or use an idea you find here, please link back to me (if it's my idea) or the original blogger. Feel free to use my original ideas and tutorials for personal use only (gifts or self) not for profit!
